I'm sure it's a beautiful car....but I agree if u are going to spend that kind of money make u check out other options like kirkham, Shelby etc....I know a lot of cars with a lot of money invested in them but that doesn't mean the market should command that price.

I agree. While it may be a whale of a nice car, that kind of money is just crazy. Someone spent way too much for a Superformance. If I was going to spend that much $$$, I'd definitely narrow my choices to a Shelby or a Kirkham with a proper FE 427. I believe either would be a more desirable car, and have the potential to hold more of their value over time.

I concur also.

If this was the exact car you would be building anyway and you must have it right now, then the price differential is worth exploring. I think the engine alone is around $25K from Roush.

However, if you are just looking to enter the Cobra market it is an extremely top end SPF. Most high end SPF's are in the sub $90k range even with the price increase. If you buy it, don't even think about the immediate depreciation. Just show it off and enjoy it.

If it were me, I would let it sit for a few more months and then make them an offer in the mid $70's.
